ABOUT
I am a small town girl with a lust for life and what it has to offer.
Hey PALS, I'm Alyse LAKEMAN
and I help the nervous nelly feel how much fun + meaningful a photo session is by having a blast and letting the session be guided by the vibe of my client so they can look back and LOVE not only the photo, but the feeling.
I remember being nervous as heck to take someone’s photo when I first started. I would ask my friends to let me take their photos in my backyard, because I was too nervous to go anywhere else and openly shoot! But now after many years of seeing people admire their own beauty, uniqueness, and new gained confidence, I have an addiction with zero care where the shoot is as long as the smiles + laughs are flowing! I can’t even wait for you to feel that same way!
WORK TOGETHER
I am 30 flirty + thriving, and refuse to call myself “middle aged”, the acceptance has not happened yet - So I'll just say that I am YOUNG and fun. I am a proud cat Mom of 2, Gary and Milo who will always have the final look at all my images before sending. I am a lover of a good dad joke, watching comedies, and being silly with my pals.
Picking up a camera + embodying my visions has been such a life changer, and something that is authentic to me to my core. I live everyday authentically, and make sure to love every minute of it because time flies, and we are the pilot!
The opportunities that I get from this dream job are things I truly never thought would be possible coming from a small town of 500! Meeting every new client and getting to know them is truly a dream. Having met + photographed some of my fave celebrities from The Bachelor + Bachelorette, Country Music Artists, and inspirational speakers have resulted in many “IS THIS REAL LIFE?!” moments!

FEATURED IN
Over the years I have been very grateful to be a part of 4 styled shoots and Weddings, some that I have created and that i’ve been included in alongside other amazing vendors, that have all been featured in Confetti Wedding Magazine.
Aside from Weddings, I have been featured on Bloom Forum’s Blog sharing about my passion for lifestyle photography
I went from photographing friends in my backyard, flowers in my garden, and frost on my front hedges to having the confidence and ability to guide people to showcase that beauty + embody their authentic ways that results in an unreal photo session!
WE ALL START SOMEWHERE
Sucker for nostalgia, anyone?
I have a DEEEP love for old photos from my childhood + seeing my Grandparents when they were young. If you're sentimental like me, you'll love how I document the moments you'll cherish :)
I am a HUGE goofball,
if i’m not saying something silly, i’m laughing. Always laughing. Life’s too short to be serious all the time!
I am the proudest cat mom you'll ever meet.
I've had cats my whole life, and couldn't imagine life without them- especially my sweet, Gary + Milo. Is being their Mom my whole personality? Maybe...? hehe
